If you're going to let some algorithm decide what you get to watch, I don't think I can help you. But if you want education, you can find Veritasium, SciShow, Numberphile, Technology Connections, Clint's Reptiles, Practical Engineering, and take it from there. My subscription feed is pretty awesome.

Considering how critical early access to the internet was for my development, I feel the restrictions being imposed are a digital and social lobotomy. And here in UK we're banning YouTube, arguably the greatest source of engaging educational material available, but allowing kids to marinate in netflix slop.

As hard as it might be to relate to someone carrying six digits in cash, crypto or gold... Or as easy it is to point and laugh at someone losing money in crypto... I think we should celebrate these guys coming forward and reporting it. Most scam victims feel too ashamed to confess to being fooled, and it makes it easier for scammers to get away with it and target us.

Better yet, let's keep the guy who can pass an exam and depart the 124 useless students who can't.

Not necessarily. I don't think anyone would track where I got off. And here in UK I do buy digital tickets, but I do that on the app. The ticket is universal wherever I want to go. When I get on the bus, I just show driver the app screen and go on. Nobody ever scanned the qr code. If I buy a weekly ticket, it's nobody's business how much I travel. And I guess cash is still an option. Plus if someone were to correlate credit card usage to point of sale, they would have to get access to two separate systems. Probably by legal means, perhaps with a warrant. Again, this is not a concern over criminals. Building everything I to one system makes bulk data collection almost inconvenient to avoid.

The fear is this would very easily turn into mass surveillance. Having a video record someone could check after the fact is fine. Checking against a database of criminals sounds fine. But what you get really quick is a database of everyone using public transport, when, and where they went. Who were they there with and what did they wear. This will then be used by stalkers and advertisers. I'm not even worried about false positives...

Some of the best educational content is also on YouTube... Certainly beats netflix. Oh well. Nothing toxic ever happened back when I was growing up without tiktok.

Don't you need an English Major for that job? I don't think these kids are getting there.

All I hear you say is Job Security. Nothing to complain about :)

I keep finding the 350wh/kg number, but 410 does definitely sound like a big improvement.

But it's also not a problem that needs such wacky solving. Last gig I bought tickets too had me register my name alongside the ticket at purchase time. I am not allowed to pass the tickets on. I may or may not be allowed to refund them. Not sure if there's a loophole for scalpers left.

It's about building up FOMO ahead of PS6 marketing launch. Or even better, have more people get a PS5 they thought they wouldn't need. Wait a few more years and someone will work out that opening up PC revenues stream sounds mighty fine.

Stop subscribing to a 200 bucks per month chatbot. Thank you for attending my ted talk.

Soon we won't be allowed to slander the poor AI models online. Anyone who says AI is anything short of benign and useful gets their internet license revoked. Jokers saying Hello and Thank you may have been onto something.

Because I'm sure this can't be the first time I see this headline.
